First off, I need to correct a relationship error from the Earp/Crockett post. Robert W. Cunningham, who died at the Alamo, was the grandson of Lucinda Morris Cunningham Simmons, not her son. Robert was the son of Anna Jennison and David Cunningham. Anna was the sister of my 4th great-grandmother, Dolly Jennison, wife of John W. Simmons. That makes Robert my 1st cousin 5x removed.

The Genealogical Society of Marion County will be holding its May 12th meeting at the Crown Hill Waiting Station [34th & Boulevard Place] from 1:00-3:00. We will be examining several leading genealogy software programs such as RootsMagic, Legacy, Family Tree Maker and a couple of others. Those researchers in the area who haven't selected a software program or may be thinking about switching to a new one, are invited to attend.We will also have a general research Q&A session afterward. It's fee! For details and directions: http://genealogyindy.org/index.php
